The Weather Gods are among us !The outdoors can change its conditions at any moment. We recommend doing a majority pack to suit the season, even in summer you can experience cold nights so we always recommend that you bring some warm clothing and vice versa. Even in Winter you can experience some hot weather, so we recommend packing at least one set of warm weather clothes. Now do not forget that even when the weather forecast is bright & sunny day’s anything can happen it is the weather after all, so do not forget to pack your wet weather gear.

Hydration - Alice the Camel has Five Humps!Water is essential to life ! without it your going to be in trouble real fast! Here in Australia our outback is all about a lot of wide open spaces! & many of these places can see you in areas where water is not a close shop or tap away! We recommend a minimum 3 Litres per day per adult we also recommend carrying the same amount per child as a safe measure. When plannig for a remote trip we also recommend that you carry a surplus of 3-5 days depending on the remoteness of the trip your planning. It's also recomended that you don't keep all your eggs in the one basket. Water Safe Tanks / Water Safe Jerry Cans are great to carry your esential water but its also good to be carrying water in water bottles too. Cartons of water are cheap to buy and best of all you can separate them and shove them in all the nooks and crannies. Giving you a separate back up supply of water.

FirewoodEveryone loves a great story around a campfire! When the fire season permits, we here at the Isuzu Club of WA love to kick back and enjoy a great conversation while getting lost gazing into a fire. After completing a great day out on the tracks there simply is just no better way to relax! With fire comes responsibility! We only have fires when it's in the allowable season and it is safe to do so. There are a lot places we visit that require us to BYO Firewood, this helps to prevent campsites from being picked bare and helps look after the habitat of the local flora and fauna. Remember to check on the trip details for the Firewood requirements! you don't want to forget and be the one that causes everyone to be cold!
-
FuelFuel is critical for what we do, without enough it might end up in a long walk! All attendees are required to have a full tank of fuel prior to the commencement of our Safety / Trip briefings. Some of the places we visit require more than just the amount of fuel you can carry in your standard fuel tank. As such you will need to have a long range tank fitted or carry jerry cans. It's really important that you read through our trips listed requirements and be suitably prepared. Sometimes we can't always top up at a reputable service station, so we recomend that you carry a couple of spare fuel filters and or have a preline fuel filter installed.

Will i damage my 4wd if i go out on a trip with the Isuzu 4x4 Club of WA Inc. ?Due to the nature of 4wdriving, vehicle damage is always possible. As a club we always try to minimise the chance of damage as much as possible. We do this by rating all of our trips so you will know in advance how difficult the tracks are likely to be. Along with our coaching and regular guidance our members will develope their skill set and ability to assess if they are able to tackle certain obsticles / terrain. We have a club philosophy of "safe & sustainable 4wdriving practices" As with many tracks around Western Australia it is very possible to scratch your 4wd. We try to limit this occurring by conducting track maintenance on the tracks we frequent most. Unfortunately sometimes there is no way to avoid scratches.
-
I've heard that 4wd clubs just like to go "bush bashing" & "only do really rough tracks" & "don't care about damaging your vehicles" & "wrecking the environment" is this true?"ABSOLUTELY NOT! In fact we are the complete opposite of this this possible sterotype! The Isuzu 4x4 Club of WA Inc. promotes "safe and sustainable 4wd practices" Our club is a member of Track Care WA Inc. and we are also involved with special projects with DBCA"Department of Biodiversity, Convervation & Attractions" Our club also conducts regular maintenance of the tracks we frequently use. We want to look after what we enjoy so that future generations can also enjoy what we love. We also leave everywhere we visit better than when we got there! The Isuzu 4x4 Club of WA Inc. promotes safe & sustainable 4wdriving practices.
